The body confident actress recently spoke to Refinery29 about her journey to self-love and acceptance.

"I went through a lot of hate online, so I tried to change myself for a really long time," Ariel told the publication. "But people just kept hating on me no matter what I did.

"I decided that instead of pleasing these other people, I’ll just spend that time pleasing myself. Those people are going to be rude to me regardless of what I do, so I should just try and be happy with what I am."
